For M, Nancy O’Dell Parts Ways With Classic Pasadena Mansion

TV personality Nancy O’Dell recently sold her gorgeous Mediterranean Revival mansion in Pasadena, CA. The elegant 8,926-square-foot home sold for just a smidge over $7 million in less than a month.

The 51-year-old former co-anchor of “Access Hollywood” and current co-anchor of “Entertainment Tonight” purchased the property for $5.4 million in 2007.

The home was built in 1931 by esteemed architect Wallace Neff and has been carefully restored to incorporate modern amenities alongside its original features.

The six-bedroom, 6.5-bath mansion is still adorned with custom wrought iron, Spanish tiles, and high wood-beamed ceilings that were typical of this era in elegant estates in California.

The great room flows into the formal dining space, and the chef’s kitchen features a prep area.

The bar/game room is a work of art, with stone arches, a wine cellar, billiard area, and luxe home theater. Other unique rooms include an office with curved shelves and a hand-painted rotunda. The master suite has a fireplace, large closets, and a master bath with a marble soaking tub and rainfall shower.

The estate sits on an acre lot, with iron gates that open to a driveway that winds through immaculately landscaped grounds and leads to a circular motor court. Out back there’s a resort-size pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen, and a courtyard with fountain. There’s also a detached guesthouse.

O’Dell is an Emmy-winning entertainment journalist and host, a former Miss South Carolina, a Miss America first runner-up, and a summa cum laude graduate of Clemson University, where she was awarded an honorary doctorate of Humanities in 2013.
